The right Forbidden West outfit will certainly earn you a few extra style points, but the points that matter most are the resistance and skill buffs you get with every outfit. Some pieces of armor even grant special skills that can’t be acquired anywhere else in the game. Since you’re going to have to change your clothes often in Horizon Forbidden West to keep up with the game’s various challenges (especially if you’re trying to beat it on higher difficulty settings), here’s a look at every unlockable outfit in the game, where to find them, and why you should (or shouldn’t) wear them:

Horizon Forbidden West: Where to Find Every Uncommon Outfit

Carja Blazon

Skills: This stylish number is a prized Trapper outfit that can be upgraded to allow you to lay down extra traps and recover additional resources when deconstructing traps. Those boosts make this outfit ideal for hunters or anyone trying to complete certain hunting challenges. You can find the Carja Blazon in a chest at the rebel camp in Eastern Lie.

Nora Anointed

Skills: +2 Concentration Regen+1 Potent Medicine This basic outfit doesn’t have a lot to offer, but it will get you through a good chunk of the game and can be upgraded to allow you to recover concentration faster and get more health from berries.

Nora Champion

Skills: +2 Stealth Ranged+1 Concentration This Infiltrator outfit is obviously perfect for stealth players who are looking to rely on their bow and arrow, but this outfit’s surprisingly high melee defense stats means that it’s also perfect for those who occasionally find themselves in close-quarter combat situations. You can unlock this outfit by completing “The Bristlebacks” side quest.

Nora Huntress

Skills: This outfit is designed to resemble Aloy’s outfit from Zero Dawn but boasts some new abilities that make it a respectable choice for stealthy players who rely on Silent Strike abilities. You’re able to purchase this outfit from the Stitchers in Chainscrape and Barren Light for 85 Metal Shards and 1 Scrounger Circulator.

Oseram Explorer

Skills: +2 Critical Strike+1 Power Attack A basic Warrior’s outfit, this armor is made to enhance your melee combat abilities and do little else of note. Still, it’s a fantastic earlier option for anyone is focusing on a melee build.

Horizon Forbidden West: Where to Find Every Rare Outfit

Carja Shadow

Skills: +2: Potent Medicine+2 Low Health Defense+1 Medicine Capacity While you may think this outfit’s “ninja-like” design would make it perfect for stealth players, this armor is instead designed to enhance your resistances and healing abilities. That makes it perfect for any “healer builds” or anyone who finds themselves relying on berries more often than they might care to admit. You can purchase this outfit from the Stitcher in Plainsong and Scalding Spear for 399 Metal Shards and 1 Longleg Circulator.

Carja Wanderer

Skills: This armor’s well-rounded abilities probably won’t blow your mind, but it’s still a solid all-around outfit that is hard to replace if you tend to rely on your traps in the open-world. You can purchase this outfit from the Stitcher in Scalding Spear and The Bulwark for 399 Metal Shards and 1 Sunwing Circulator.

Nora Sentinel

Skills: +2 Concentration+2 Stamina Regen+1 Stealth Ranged This hunter outfit is another well-balanced piece of armor that offers a nice array of combat-based benefits. It’s honestly one of the best outfits you can acquire early on.

Oseram Arrow Breaker

Skills: +2 Critical Strike+2 Trap Limit+2 Melee Damage+1 Resilient Trapper While this outfit is obviously designed to enhance your melee combat abilities, it’s this armor’s trap boosts that elevate it over some of the other outfits available to you at this point in the game. Definitely give this one a look if you’re not going the pure stealth route. You can purchase this outfit from the Stitcher in The Bulwark for 399 Metal Shards and 1 Widemaw Circulator.

Oseram Wayfarer

Skills: This warrior outfit is ideal for melee combat against human opponents but doesn’t really have much to offer in any other situation. It’s definitely one of the game’s “situational” pieces of armor. You can purchase this outfit from the Stitcher in Plainsong for 399 Metal Shards and 1 Widemaw Circulator.

Tenakth Marshal

Skills: +2 Heavy Weapon+2 Stealth Tear+2 Low Health Regen+1 Low Health Defense This is a pretty odd piece of armor that is really best designed for those who plan on using heavy weapons fairly often in combat. It’s certainly not useless, but this niche outfit is easily replaced with other options.

Utaru Harvester

Skills: +2 Low Profile+2 Stealth Ranged+1 Weapon Stamina This outfit is perfect for players who like to attack from the tall grass and other stealth positions. It also offers a lovely boost to weapon stamina that will certainly come in handy from time to time. This outfit can be purchased from the Stitchers in Plainsong, Scalding Spear, and The Bulwark for 399 Metal Shards and 1 Shell-Walker Circulator.

Utaru Whisperer

Skills: This incredible stealth outfit offers an array of welcome benefits that make it much easier to consistently rely on melee strikes as your primary form of combat. Definitely give this one a shot if that’s your playstyle. You’ll acquire this outfit as part of “The Dying Lands” Main Quest.

Horizon Forbidden West: Where to Find Every Very Rare Outfit

Carja Behemoth Trapper

Skills: +2 Smoke Bomb Capacity+2 Trap Limit+2 Skilled Salvager+2 Quiet Movement This hilariously powerful outfit is perfect for trapping machines and living that hunter lifestyle. It doesn’t have much to offer outside of that playstyle, but it does exactly what it needs to do.

Carja Trader

Skills: +2 Trap Limit+2 Skilled Salvager+2 Shard Salvager+2 Food Duration What this outfit lacks in combat abilities, it more than makes up for in scavenging bonuses. It’s great for anyone who is looking to acquire more resources from machines later in the game. You can purchase this outfit from the Stitcher in Legacy’s Landfall for 945 Metal Shards, 1 Sunwing Circulator, and 1 Large Machine Core.

Nora Tracker

Skills: While this stealth outfit does make you more vulnerable to certain elemental attacks, the various boosts it offers to your melee stealth abilities tend to make up for its drawbacks. You can purchase this outfit from the Stitcher in Thornmarsh. Costs 945 Metal Shards, 1 Dreadwing Circulator, and 1 Large Machine Core.

Nora Valiant

Skills: +2 Concentration Regen+2 Concentration+2 Weapon Stamina+2 Stamina Regen If you keep finding yourself running out of concentration during range combat, this is the outfit for you. It doesn’t look like much, but this armor does make it much easier to survive and thrive in ranged scenarios.

Oseram Forester

Skills: +2 Melee Damage+2 Stamina Regen+2 Weapon Stamina+2 Resonator Blast This melee-focused outfit distinguishes itself through incredible weapon stamina bonuses that help keep you in the fight. It’s worth going out of your way for. You can find this outfit in a chest near The Spinebreak. It’s easily found during the side “Breaking Even,” though you will need to fight a Rockbreaker before you can acquire it.

Oseram Striker

Skills: If you’re looking to add a little extra power to your melee strikes, this is the outfit for you. This armor allows you to go toe-to-toe with just about any enemy in the game and make them pay for daring to stand against you. You can purchase this outfit from the Hunter in the encampment near The Base or the Hunter in Fall’s Edge for 945 Metal Shards, 1 Rollerback Circulator, and 1 Large Machine Core.

Oseram Vanguard

Skills: +2 Low Health Melee+2 Low Health Melee+2 Valor On Impact+2 Potion Proficiency+2 Power Attack This unique melee armor actually grants you boosts for taking damage during combat. It’s not always your best opinion, but it’s pretty good for melee players with a few key survivor skills. You can purchase this outfit from the Stitcher in Legacy’s Landfall for 945 Metal Shards, 1 Snapmaw Circulator, and 1 Large Machine Core.

Sobeck’s Raiment

Skills: +2 Valor Surge Master+2 Deep Concentration+2 Stamina Regen+2 Lasting Override+2 Weapon Stamina This is another odd outfit that is best used by players who want to blend machine control abilities with a variety of combat approaches. There are better overall options, but tit unique abilities will appeal to specific kinds of players. You’ll unlock this outfit during the “Faro’s Tomb” main quest.

Tenakth Dragoon

Skills: +2 Mounted Archer+2 Efficient Repair+2 Machine Health+2 Mounted Defense This tunning outfit is designed to greatly enhance your mounted combat abilities. That’s honestly not the best way to play the game, but this armor makes it a little more viable.

Tenakth High Marshal

Skills: +2 Resonator Blast+2 Melee Damage+2 Low Health Melee+2 Mounted Archer This is another hybrid outfit that offers bonuses to your melee and mounted archery abilities.

You’ll unlock this outfit by completing the Main Quest “The Wings of the Ten.”

Tenakth Marauder

Skills: +2 Low Health Melee+2 Power Attack+2 Melee Damage+2 Valor On Impact This is another outfit that requires you to lose a little health before you unlock its full potential, though this armor offers some additional, general benefits that make it a bit more useful during general combat scenarios. You can purchase this outfit from the Stitcher in Thornmarsh for 945 Metal Shards, 1 Frostclaw Circulator, and 1 Large Machine Core.

Tenakth Recon

Skills: +2 Machine Damage+2 Machine Health+2 Lasting Override+2 Quiet Movement If you’re mostly interested in overriding machines and letting them fight for you, this is the outfit for you. It’s pretty much unrivaled for that style of play. You can purchase this outfit from the Stitcher in Thornmarsh for 945 Metal Shards, 1 Behemoth Circulator, and 1 Large Machine Core.

Tenakth Skirmisher

Skills: +2 Low Health Ranged+2 Low Health Valor+2 Valor Surge Master+2 Concentration Regen+2 Weapon Stamina This strange outfit essentially requires you to lose health while in ranged combat, which is honestly kind of a strange playstyle. Still, it’s a pretty powerful piece of armor when used properly. You can purchase this outfit from the Stitcher in Scalding Spear for 945 Metal Shards, 1 Sunwing Circulator, and 1 Large Machine Core.

Tenakth Sky Climber

Skills: +2 Concentration+2 Concentration Regen+2 Potent Medicine+2 Food Duration With its various concentration and healing boosts, this outfit benefits a variety of playstyles without forcing you to choose one over the other. Give it a look if you find yourself bouncing between combat methods. You’ll unlock this outfit after completing the errand quest “First to Fly.”

Tenakth Vindicator

Skills: +2 Weapon Stamina+2 Valor Surge Master+2 Critical Strike+2 Resilient Trapper+2 Silent Strike Gain I love the way this outfit benefits the complementary playstyles of trapping and stealth, though I imagine that some may pass it up in favor of specialized armor that has a little more to offer in specific areas. You’ll unlock this outfit after completing the side quest “The Deluge.”

Utaru Gravesinger

Skills: +2 Evader+2 Smoke Bomb Capacity+2 Concentration Regen+2 Potion Proficiency: The evasion and health benefits this outfit offers will primarily appeal to archers but are strong enough to support a variety of playstyles.

Utaru Hardweave

Skills: +2 Silent Strike+2 Stealth Ranged+2 Valor Surge Master This great stealth outfit really shines whenever you’re attacking from a concealed position. I can see some stealth players favoring survival armor over this outfit, but it’s a fantastic piece of stealth gear. You can purchase this outfit from the Hunter in Lowland’s Path or the Stitcher in Thornmarsh for 945 Metal Shards, 1 Stalker Circulator, and 1 Large Machine Core.

Utaru Ritesinger

Skills: +2 Stealth Ranged+2 Second Chance+2 Deep Concentration+2 Food Duration As long as you’re not planning on trying to go toe-to-toe with every enemy you see, this outfit should come in handy during the majority of combat situations. Of course, its unique “Second Chance” ability may just help you survive a potential killing blow. You can purchase this outfit from the Stitcher in Thornmarsh for 945 Metal Shards, 1 Ravager Circulator, and 1 Large Machine Core.

Utaru Thresher

Skills: +2 Concentration+2 Heavy Lifter+2 Heavy Weapon+2 Evader I’m generally not the biggest fan of a “Heavy Weapons” playstyle in Forbidden West, but if you find yourself favoring that approach, this could be the best armor for you. You can purchase this outfit from the Stitcher in Scalding Spear for 945 Metal Shards, 1 Sunwing Circulator, and 1 Large Machine Core.

Utaru Warden

Horizon Forbidden West: Where to Find Every Legendary Outfit

Carja Stalker Elite

Skills: +2 Trap Limit+1 Quick Trapper+1 Smoke Bomb Capacity+1 Nimble Crafter+1 Low Profile+1 Quiet Movement One of the game’s best outfits for trappers, this stealthy number makes it significantly easier to lay down traps in heavily-patrolled areas and live to tell the tale. You can purchase this outfit in the Maw of the Arena for 54 arena medals.

Nora Thunder Warrior

Skills: +2 Concentration+1 Deep Concentration+1 Concentration Regen+1 Stamina Regen+1 Stealth Ranged+1 Heavy Weapon Pretty much a dream come true for ranged combat players, this outfit will allow you to overcome just about any ranged combat scenario you can imagine.

Oseram Artificer

Skills: +2 Power Attack +1 Resonator Stack+1 Resonator Damage+1 Master Surge of Valor+1 Resonance Blast+1 Energized Duration Arguably the best outfit in the game, this armor will turn you into a melee master capable of downing even the toughest foes with little more than your staff. Unfortunately, you will need to complete the “Keruf’s Salvage Unlimited” quest before you can unlock this armor. That quest requires you to complete special requests for every salvage contractor in the game before participating in a final quest that eventually leads to this armor.

Tenakth Tactician

Skills: +2 Lasting Override+1 Machine Elemental+1 Machine Health+1 Quiet Movement+1 Mounted Archer+1 Mounted Defense This is the best outfit in the game for anyone who wants to emphasize machine mastery above all else.

Tenakth Vanquisher

Skills: +2 Low Health Valor+1 Low Health Melee+1 Low Health Defense+1 Evader+1 Low Health Ranged+1 Valor Surge Master This outfit essentially turns you into an unstoppable warrior the moment that you take enough damage.

Utaru Winterweave

Skills: +2 Quiet Movement+1 Quiet Spear+1 Low Profile+1 Smoke Bomb Capacity+1 Silent Strike+1 Silent Strike Heal The best stealth outfit in the game leaves everything else in the dust (or smoke bomb). This armor is good enough to justify swapping to a stealth playstyle once you’ve unlocked it.
